Join us for Captain's Log #45 and see what happens in a "Race to Confrontation." It is peacetime and four captains meet on a purely scientific mission to study a new stellar event.

"Commodore, we have intercepted and decoded a message from a Rimworld patrol. They have encountered an Andromedan ship, Dominator class, in the system. The colony is now broadcasting a distress message and is requesting our assistance."

Released in November 2003, this issue supports Star Fleet Battles, Federation & Empire, Star Fleet Battle Force, Star Fleet Warlord, SFB Galactic Conquest, and Prime Directive and includes the classic story "Rimworld."

HISTORY includes "Rimworld," by Randy O. Green. The General War is over, but a new conflict is set to begin as the deadly Andromedan invaders attack the planet Rimworld, home to both Gorn and Federation colonies. As a squadron sacrifices itself to buy time, a fast cruiser and even Romulans race to the scene as commandos, including a Kzinti, board the Dominator. There is also a class history on Federation fast cruisers and light dreadnoughts. An article on Hydran military decorations and a map of the Milky Way Galaxy round out the section.

COMMUNICATIONS includes information about new products, 10 questions for Paul Scott, after-action reports, proposals, why, ask Admiral Growler, input guide, and Starline 2400 miniatures.

VENUES include Star Fleet Warlord, Star Fleet Command, SFB Galactic Conquest, Prime Directive, Play by Email, and SFB Online.

DATABASE remains the place for new material. Battle Group Carrier Group, Brothers of the Anarchist, and an article on DefSats support Star Fleet Battles. Lyrans come to Star Fleet Battle Force. And GURPS Prime Directive gets deck plans for the Federation Burke-class Frigate and the Klingon G1 Gunboat.

SCENARIOS include two new ones for Star Fleet Battles (SL223-SL224).

TACTICS include Victory at Origins by Paul Scott, an article on Auroran tactics, and ten pages of Term Papers, including sections on tractors and plasma.

The FEDERATION & EMPIRE section includes official rules and rulings along with the Origins wish list, proposals, after-action reports for Combined Operations, tactical notes, and some playtest rules.

The NEW SHIPS for SFB section has 16 new ships including Federation modular light dreadnought and fast fleet scout; the Gorn destroyer-battlecruiser and destroyer-cruiser; the ISC contingency ships: dreadnought, cruiser, strike cruiser, light cruiser, and destroyer; Frax heavy dreadnought, light dreadnought, fast cruiser, and patrol carrier; and the Anarchist ships: Federation King Eagle, Federation FireHawk-K, Romulan captured heavy cruiser, and Romulan captured light cruiser.

Captain's Log #28 Now Available from Multiple Sources

"Is this a deception or have the Tholians really created such a monster?"

Released in April, 2004, this Stellar Shadows issue (the information is fun, but not historically accurate) supports Star Fleet Battles, Federation & Empire, Star Fleet Battle Force, and Prime Directive, albeit through the lens of Stellar Shadows. From an alternate timeline come the Paravians who destroyed the Gorns and made war on the Romulans, Federation, and Inter-Stellar Concordium.

If you thought the Paravians made the Early Years dangerous, just wait until you see what their new ships can do to the General War. A full range of ships from dreadnought to frigate rampage across the galaxy, returning to the huge mothership only to deposit their loot and reload for further battle.

History includes "Step into My Parlour," by Loren Knight. Do the Tholians have a battleship or is it smoke and mirrors? Commander Korgan, accused of cowardice, must uncover the truth in order to save his career, and even his very life. A lost Federation memo exposes the real cause of the General War and the law of unintended consequences. And check out the history of these Federation destroyers!

Fifty new ships include bomber barges, Federation multi-engine warships, gunfighter frigates, the four-engine Klingon BC8 dreadnought, Romulan assault cruiser, Gorn base buster and destroyer-dreadnought, Tholian conversions for a D7 and C8, WYN conversions of just about every lost frigate that they could get their hands on as well as conversions of lost Andromedan ships, and Seltorian penal ships.

Workshop of the Mad Scientists includes these concepts: plasmatron, accelerated plasma, plasma launch while cloaked, plasma-B (125 points!), armored fighters, Gorn modular bombers, and warp gearshift.

GURPS Prime Directive discovers the deadly tribble launcher! How much havoc could tribbles wreak when lobbed amongst Klingons?

Star Fleet Battle Force suggests you play a no-limit, Klingon Hold 'em game. Go all in with a pair of dreadnoughts as the High Energy Turn card doubles your drone strike.

Federation & Empire gets all the data it needs from this issue and Stellar Shadows #1.

And of course, there is more in each section than we have space to list.

"How many Romulans will die today before we destroy this interloper?" -- Ante-Commander Raxx Casifax

Released in May, 2004, this Captain's Log issue supports Star Fleet Battles and Federation & Empire. "A Mission of Vital Importance" by Randy O. Green is the story of how tactical warp was first denied to the Romulans.

In addition to the story, History includes an article on the Romulan imperial line and another discussing the realities of what actually forms a brigade in the Star Fleet Universe.

As is usual, Communications is designed to inform readers about the company's activities. After Action reports are on Captain's Log #27 and Captain's Log #28. The concept of "alpha gamer" is discussed; in many ways these activities support the front-line Rangers. The Input Guide is designed to help writers and other people submitting material get their ideas into print. Admiral Growler answers SFB questions; Steve Cole answers questions about the schedule. More "Why" questions get answered. This section is rounded out with photos of the new Starline 2400 miniatures, proposals that were rejected, information about the Star Fleet Rangers, and staff awards.

This issue includes five scenarios for Star Fleet Battles. SL225 A Mission of Vital Importance is based on the cover story. SL226 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Virus is set in the Omega Octant. SL227 Sitting Birds has Romulans facing Klingons. SL228 Klingons for the Defense has Klingons defending against a Federation raid. SL229 One Corner of Hell is a Gorn-Romulan faceoff.

Database articles include battlegroups designed to assault the Tholian Holdfast. There is an article defining the relationships between various Omega Octant empires. More information is provided of the fighters that Cygnus designed. There is also an article giving guidance on playing the scenario Rebel Reduction.

Some Tholian SSDs were updated to better match their miniatures including the Tholian Dreadnought, Photon Dreadnought, DPW Dreadnought, Dreadnought Carrier, Dreadnought Space Control Ship, and Heavy Dreadnought. New transports include the Klingon E4T, Kzinti Transport Frigate, Gorn Destroyer Transport, Hydran Transport Frigate, Lyran Cheetah-T, and Lyran Alleycat-T. Then there are the captured ships: Hydran-Lyran War Cruiser, Hydran-Lyran War Destroyer, Lyran-Hydran Medium Cruiser, and Lyran-Hydran War Destroyer.

There are deck plans for the Federation Express, Inter-Stellar Concordium cards for Star Fleet Battle Force, rules for Hydrans converting captured Lyran ships, and rules for Lyrans converting captured Hydran ships. Finally there is an article on the Planet Crusher, sometimes called the Planet Killer.

The Venues include Star Fleet Warlord, SFB Online, Play by E-Mail, Star Fleet Command, and Galactic Conquest. Tactics includes Victory at Origins 1995 and Victory at Origins 97, both articles by Tom Carroll. There are six pages of Term Papers.

Federation & Empire gets a draft rule for megafighters, a look at proposals for the game, and some new rules for the then future product Planetary Operations. There are five pages of Tactical Notes. Finally there are after-action reports and rules and rulings.

This issue is available from the following vendors:

The job was done, the victims were rescued, the pirates were captured, the cargo was delivered on time, the citizens were served, and if that required bending or ignoring a few rules and protocols and regulations, well there were always those "exigencies of the situation" to protect Lester from retaliation.

Released in 2013, this Captain's Log issue supports Star Fleet Battles, Federation Commander, A Call to Arms: Star Fleet, and Federation & Empire. "Into the Eagle's Nest" by Clint Woodall focuses on a Federation Police Cutter assigned to stop a transport that is defecting to the Romulans with an important prototype.
